DS wants very little to do with purees. We've been giving him puffs, etc, as well as peas, cheese, carrots and some fruit. However I'm at a loss as to what other vegis and protiens to give him? And how the heck am I going to get it ready during the week? I work long hours and by the time we get home it's after six - no time to cook. Anyone have any suggestions/recipes? I have no idea what I'm gonna do...
Re: What now?
I searched the internet and found: banana, avocado, boiled carrot and sweet potato, yogurt, bread, pancakes, waffles, toast, zucchini, asparagus, pears.
Join our wiki and tell us what your baby eats for finger foods.
If I make chicken for dinner (or if it's left over from the night before) I just cut it into smaller pieces and let him have him. He LOVES chicken, especially with lots of spices or marinade. The kid loves strong, spicy foods.
As for veggies, we do small bits of steamed broccoli, carrots, potato, asparagus, whatever we're eating.
He also gets a lot of pastas/meat/sauce combos since I cook a lot of pastas. DH likes meat in the sauce or mix, so he gets a lot of lean ground beef, too. He loves stuffed shells.
What about some crock pot recipes? Throw in some chicken and it'll be ready to go when you get home, just throw it over some rice or a potato.
DD is also boycotting purees. She eats lots of cheerios, teddy puffs, yogurt, banana, thin slices of apple, peas, mac & cheese (shells), rotini pasta with tomato sauce, chicken.
I make a box of mac & cheese or rotini and keep it in the fridge, pull out and microwave for her dinner.
